Auto-populate a time field from reference data

I have built apps used for capturing production data in a Machine Shop. For each part produced on the machine, there is a cycle time (hh:mm:ss) say 00:06:00 or something like that. This cycle time differs for each part produced on the machine, and can also change over a period of time as improvements are made.

At present, every time a cycle time is changed, I have to hard-code it into an app in the field, and an app revision has to be done.

I would like to get these cycle times from Reference Data so that the supervisor can change the reference data without having to go to the app designer to get the field updated.

Can you please make this possible?

  • Hi Narayan,

    I assume you're doing some calculation based on that field, otherwise you could use a Short Text Field instead of a Time Field. It sounds like the ideal solution here would be to make Time Fields eligible to pull from Reference Data - does that sound right? 

    Thanks for your feedback!

  • Yes, I am doing calculations based on that field - calculating efficiency, OEE etc.

    The ideal solution is just like you say - make time fields eligible to pull from Reference Data. Thanks!
